But while the 'internal representations' as they are called are different from person to person there are a number of symptoms which are common to many dromophobes:

A feeling of uncontrollable anxiety when you think about or are exposed to crossing streets

The feeling that you must do everything possible to avoid crossing streets

The inability to function normally because of your anxiety

Often, the knowledge that your fears are unreasonable or exaggerated but feeling powerless to control them

Dromophobic symptoms can be mental, emotional and physical. The anxiety and fear can go from mild feelings of apprehension to a full-blown panic attack.

Typically, the closer you are to what you’re afraid of, the greater your fear will be. You can test the severity of your problem with this 2-minute online crossing the road phobia test.
